Yokomo MS2.0 Steel Chassis Spec

Releasing its latest competition spec 1:10 Electric Touring Car at the end of last August, Yokomo introduces its thirds version of the MS2.0 with its Steel Chassis kit option. The new MS2.0 features a steel main chassis and compared to graphite or aluminium, offers greater mass and weight down low. 1.2mm in thickness, the steel chassis provides a lower centre of gravity and this suppresses highside tendencies. It also leads to increased cornering limits and provides stability through appropriate flex, giving you an advantage in high-grip surface racing.

Coelho takes brand ambassador role with Turbo Racing

While announcements from drivers on new sponsorship deals are common in RC racing, reigning 3-time back to back Electric Touring Car World Champion Bruno Coelho has announced something different with the news he has become a brand ambassador for small scale hobby grade car brand Turbo Racing. In unveiling his new partnership, the factory Infinity driver posted, ‘I’m very happy to share that I’m officially joining Turbo Racing as a brand ambassador. Even though my professional career is in high-level RC racing, this partnership is about something bigger than competition. Turbo Racing focuses on 1:76 scale RC cars, a category designed especially to introduce young kids and new people to the RC world in a fun, accessible, and realistic way. Turbo Racing works closely with schools and educational programs, using RC cars as a tool to inspire curiosity, precision, and passion for motorsport and technology at a very young age. I’m proud to support this mission and to use my image and experience to help bring more kids and more families into RC racing. Turbo Racing is already a very big and fast-growing company and this growth is strongly connected to their focus on youth, education, and highly realistic small-scale cars that truly feel like real racing RC cars. This is a great step not only for the brand and for me personally, but also for RC as a whole. The future of our hobby starts with the next generation, and initiatives like this help ensure RC continues to grow stronger every year.
